One hundred days on the Origin Continent are equivalent to one hundred years in the Primal Universe in actual experience.

If we also factor in the 10081 times the passage of time, a hundred epochs have already passed on the other side of the Universe Ocean.

Over such a long period of time, Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone had naturally gone through the cycle of reincarnation. It was only recently that Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone determined its location; its Xue You Clone was currently within the territory of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.

Thunder Ancient Kingdom, as one of the two Elder Gu kingdoms of the Origin Continent, has a vast territory and countless forces of varying sizes within its borders, but these forces are all dominated by the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.

As for Luo Feng, he hasn't yet entered the cycle of reincarnation. He will wait for the destruction of the Primal Universe so he can experience the Origin Land once before entering the cycle of reincarnation and leaving.

Luo Feng would naturally not let such a precious opportunity slip by.

Within the Palace Supreme Treasure, Lu Qingshan slowly opened his eyes. In just one hundred days, all the energy he had accumulated within his body had been completely exhausted. At this moment, his divine body had reached a height of 390 million kilometers, more than double its previous height.

Its height has doubled, and its width has also increased significantly, resulting in a substantial increase in its actual divine power reserves.

However, even so, Lu Qingshan's divine body is still in the early stages of development.

According to the records Wu Kingdom Inheritance, the Infinite Divine Body is at the Eternal True God Level, and its height is generally 3.6 billion kilometers. Such a divine body is comparable to the height of a typical Chaos Great Sage.

As for Lu Qingshan, with his Perfect Divine Body, if he develops his divine body to its limit, he will definitely be able to surpass this number. As for the exact number, Lu Qingshan doesn't know yet, but if he takes Luo Feng as a reference, breaking through 10 billion will definitely be a piece of cake.

A divine body exceeding 10 billion kilometers in the Eternal True God stage is even larger than the divine body of the Chaos Great Sage. If they were to fight, their combined divine power would be enough to drive Eternal True God of the same level to despair.

Of course, that was his divine body after he grew up. Now he is only 390 million kilometers tall, which is only slightly stronger than most Eternal True God.

"It seems we still need to find a way to obtain some resources."

Lu Qingshan frowned slightly, deep in thought.

The best way to acquire resources is to recruit a disciple and receive a cashback reward, which will provide a continuous stream of resources.

His original self did not bring the treasures of the Wu Kingdom with him when he entered the cycle of reincarnation, partly to avoid karma, and partly because it was very easy for him to obtain resources.

"I wonder how Chi You are going with Chi You?"

Before Lu Qingshan went into seclusion, he only mentioned Chi You casually, not really holding out much hope. However, if Chi You could bring him a surprise, that would be quite good.

They left the secluded meditation chamber and arrived at the outer room of the cave.

Chi You was not here. Lu Qingshan communicated telepathically, and Chi You returned in just a moment.

Moreover, he didn't return alone; he was accompanied by a slender, handsome True God.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, this True God was visibly nervous.

Chi You transmitted his voice, saying, "Master, this is a genius I've been searching for in Lanhuang City. His name is Yan Shuo. He's young, and although he became True God through Bloodline School, he has excellent comprehension. He has already mastered eight of the Ten Great Laws and has even created Eighth Order Secret Technique."

This so-called Eighth Order Secret Technique is merely a name given by the Universe Ocean; Chi You is simply using a term familiar to Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan scanned the boy with his consciousness, finding nothing unusual, which left him slightly disappointed.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although this young man is stronger than Moyu Qingyan, he is only at an average level in the Universe Ocean. If he could gain the system's recognition, he wouldn't have failed to give any hints to the many True God he had met before.

According to Chi You, this young man named Yan Shuo was originally a genius from a small tribe. His tribe was destroyed by a Void True God Level beast not long ago, and he was the only one who escaped the calamity because he came to Lanhuang City to purchase goods.

Driven by a desire for revenge, Yan Shuo naturally longed for a powerful teacher. However, in Lanhuang City, most powerful individuals possessed their own factions and were extremely selective in accepting disciples. It wasn't until he encountered Chi You that he had a sliver of hope.

Yan Shuo, observing the situation, couldn't help but let a hint of melancholy flash across his eyes.

He knew that the mysterious figure before him probably didn't fancy him; he had encountered this situation many times before.

Lu Qingshan ignored Yan Shuo's thoughts.

It's definitely impossible for me to take on apprentices.

No matter how miserable Yan Shuo is, it has nothing to do with him—he definitely won't accept a genius who isn't recognized by his golden finger. Over the years, the only person he's made an exception for is Lu San.

Moreover, Lu San was later promoted to the level of First-Class Genius in the Universe Ocean. Although he has only just broken through to the level of Universe Venerable, he still has the hope of becoming Master of Laws in the future.

He casually took out a True God Level weapon he had crafted himself and said, "Take this weapon; consider it a small gift."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shuo was overjoyed and carefully accepted the gift.

True God Level are considered quite valuable in their tribe, and this particular weapon looks quite impressive. Many warriors in their tribe also use weapons made from natural materials for hunting.

" Yan Shuo, you may leave."

Chi You waved his hand, knowing that his master didn't think much of the little fellow.

However, the master was kind; even if he didn't like something, he would still give it as a reward.

" Xing Tian, Your Excellency—I—"

Yan Shuo bowed respectfully and originally intended to leave, but when he saw the gift in his hand and thought of all the cold looks he had suffered over the years, he realized that only here had he not only not been mocked, but he had also received a True God weapon as a reward.

"What else do you have to say?"

Chi You frowned slightly.

"Sir----"

Summoning his courage, Yan Shuo said, "I wonder if the two esteemed ones need any errands run? This subordinate is willing to become their servant."

Lu Qingshan glanced at him with a hint of surprise.

Unable to become a disciple, he's forced to become a servant?

He laughed and said, "As a servant, I won't impart any spiritual experience to you."

"I dare not hope to be guided by the Supreme One. Over the years, I have already tried. It is no longer possible to find a powerful master in Lanhuang City. Working alongside the two Supreme Ones would broaden my horizons and provide more opportunities."

This was a decision Yan Shuo had just made.

His tribe had been destroyed, and he was struggling to survive alone in Lanhuang City. He had been repeatedly rejected when he tried to become an apprentice, and with his abilities, it was impossible for him to travel to other cities. Now that he had such an opportunity, he naturally wanted to try and see if he could seize it.

Unlike other Void True God, the two Void True God were not indifferent. They did not accept him as a disciple, but instead gave him rewards. Yan Shuo knew that this might be an opportunity for him.

"No regrets? Becoming my servant isn't something you can just give up easily."

Lu Qingshan said calmly.

"I am certain. Now that I have made my choice, I will not regret it."

Yan Shuo knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.

Lu Qingshan turned to look at Chi You and said, " Xing Tian, since he's so kind, let him stay here. It'll be good for him to run errands for you."

"If the young master has no objections, then of course I have no objections either."

Chi You's expression remained indifferent.

Upon hearing their permission, Yan Shuo thanked them again, but he was also somewhat dazed. He had originally been a genius in the tribe, but after the tribe was destroyed, he wanted to become an apprentice to learn martial arts and avenge his parents and relatives. But he never expected to become a servant of two venerable ones.

Although becoming a servant of Void True God is an opportunity that even ordinary True God don't have, it's still significantly different from his expectation of becoming a disciple. However, since he has already made the choice, he won't regret it. By serving two Void True God, he can access more things, and his probability of becoming Void True God in the future will be greater.

" Yan Shuo, the young master has decided to keep you here. You will live here from now on. You can set up your own residence on the outer edge of the cave. But remember, unless you are summoned here, you must not disturb the young master and me during our cultivation."

Chi You reminded him.

"Yes, Venerable Xing Tian."

Yan Shuo looked up again and found that the other Venerable One had already left.

He arrived at the outer layer of the cave with a feeling of trepidation.

Here, he established a dwelling spanning several miles, which was perfectly adequate for his divine body to live in.

After finishing all that, Yan Shuo began his daily cultivation.

His bloodline level wasn't high, making it extremely difficult to comprehend the bloodline and break through to the Void True God level. Even if he did break through, he wouldn't be a match for that True God Level beast. Therefore, he kept studying the Ten Great Laws, hoping to break through to the Void True God Level in the Law Flow School.

Only by breaking through to the Void True God Law Flow School can he deal with that powerful alien beast and have any hope of revenge.

However, just as he began to comprehend the Ten Great Laws, he suddenly couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Here—surprisingly—"

Yan Shuo was extremely surprised.

He discovered that the Ten Great Laws here were too clear, like a blind man who had never seen the light before regaining his sight for the first time. Moreover, it wasn't just the Ten Great Laws; the Fusion Law, which he had only dabbled in before, were also very clear here, as if they were right in front of him.

"Is this the abode of the Void True God? Cultivating here, my speed of comprehending the laws can be increased by at least a hundred times."

Yan Shuo was overjoyed; he was now certain that choosing to become a servant was absolutely the right decision.

Putting everything else aside, the cultivation environment here alone would greatly increase his chances of breaking through to the Void True God realm.

Not to mention the other benefits.

Yan Shuo stopped thinking about it and shut out the complicated thoughts in his mind, beginning to wholeheartedly comprehend the Ten Great Laws.

At this moment, he was like a person on the verge of dying of thirst who had suddenly found sweet mountain spring water, and naturally began to cultivate with great eagerness.

Inside the secret cultivation chamber of the cave.

After Yan Shuo left, Chi You found Lu Qingshan again.

"Master, I'm so sorry, we couldn't find a genius you liked."

Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly and said, "No need to overthink it. Lanhuang City is just a small city; it doesn't have that many geniuses who meet the requirements. This matter can't be rushed; let's take it slowly."

He walked to the window of the cultivation chamber and looked at the Chaos Ruins shrouded in formation in the distance.

His main body has settled down in the Origin Continent, and the safety is quite high. However, to truly establish a foothold in the Origin Continent, stability alone is not enough. He needs more resources, more assistance, and outstanding disciples.

These are all things that are very difficult to obtain in Lanhuang City.

We can only look to the Xue You Clone!

He had been in seclusion for a hundred days, Xue You Clone had already passed through the cycle of reincarnation. However, it seemed to be in poor condition at the moment.

Thunder Ancient Kingdom, a small town on the eastern border.

Gray smoke and dust covered the entire city, leaving the once beautiful buildings in ruins, like severed limbs and wreckage.

All life that originally lived in this city, including several Eternal True God, tens of thousands of Void True God, and countless other True God, vanished. There wasn't even a trace of life left in the entire city.

Xue You Clone slowly regenerated from an inconspicuous gray Stone. He looked around, his expression not good.

Not long ago, a monstrous beast at the level of Chaos Great Sage arrived here. Its Chaos domain enveloped the entire city, devouring all living creatures within it.

Only the Xue You Clone, relying on the Formless and Shapeless of its perfect body, disguised itself as an ordinary Stone and escaped the calamity. It wasn't until long after the strange beast had left that it regained its original form.

"This is the territory of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. Although it's a bit remote, I never expected something like this to happen. A beast at the level of Chaos Great Sage actually devoured all the lives in an entire city."

A hint of wariness flashed in the eyes of the Xue You Clone.

Although it's unclear what the beast's purpose was—whether it was purely to satisfy its appetite, for cultivation purposes, or even to heal its own injuries—such indiscriminate slaughter was even more demonic than the demonic path itself.

And the key point is that it seems like nobody cares about this.

" The Chaos Great Sage Beast dares to devour here with impunity; either it's going to make a quick buck and leave, or it has someone backing it up—"

This Thunder Ancient Kingdom is still too dangerous—"

Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone moved swiftly through the ruins of the city, trying to collect some supplies. Unfortunately, the strange beast took all the good things from the city when it left.

Even the materials used to set up the formation, and the remains of True God, were not seen by Lu Qingshan.

After roughly judging that there would be no gain, Lu Qingshan left the city and went to a place about three days' journey away from the city. There, he took out a crimson token.

This is the Flame Ruins Token.

He had kept this token in the Black Butcher Holy Land Universe Sea before he ventured into reincarnation, and only brought it with him afterward.

"The Master of Fire Saint said that after passing through the cycle of reincarnation, one can use this token to join the Flame Ruins Sect and become an inner disciple. The Flame Ruins Sect is a powerful sect on the Origin Continent, and its sect leader is God King Level being."

The Wu Kingdom's heritage was too ancient; the Flame Ruins Sect didn't exist back then. However, before venturing into reincarnation, he inquired with the Sitting Mountain Guest- Sitting Mountain Guest and learned that the Flame Ruins Sect was a normal sect—because the sect leader of the Flame Ruins Sect had seized the Will of the Original Universe of the Universe Ocean where he was located, thus recruiting many geniuses from the Universe Ocean who were venturing into reincarnation.

Compared to other sects on the Origin Continent, the Flame Ruins Sect is relatively normal, at least according to the evaluation of the Sitting Mountain Guest.

For this reason, Lu Qingshan decided to first go and take a look inside the Flame Ruins Sect.

The main body can live a simple life in a small place, but the Xue You Clone needs a larger platform. Only in this way can he more easily acquire resources, recruit talented disciples, and progress faster.

The Xue You Clone infused a wisp of divine power into the token, and then a faint light appeared.

Lu Qingshan discovered that the light, the moment it appeared, seemed to resonate with a place extremely far away.

This is a very weak causal relationship.

"It seems the Flame Ruins Sect already knows about me."

After sending the signal, Lu Qingshan waited in place.

Several days later, a huge figure flew down from the sky, his whole body shrouded in flames, like a giant fire giant.

Before he even appeared, Lu Qingshan felt a terrifying heat coming towards him, as if it would completely melt him.

"Did you activate the Flame Ruins Token?"

The man spoke.

"Yes."

Lu Qingshan stood up.

"It's extremely rare for someone to activate the Flame Ruins Token after breaking through to the Eternal True God —my name is Chi Xuan, the guide of the Flame Ruins Sect. Come with me!"
